Browser-side diagnostic only. Connect the controller in your operating system first; this page cannot pair Bluetooth or install drivers. Results depend on the browser, operating system, connection and controller mapping.

INPUTS TO CHECK

What the tester should show

  • A/B/X/Y
  • D-pad
  • LB/RB
  • LT/RT
  • Two sticks
  • Menu/View

Press each control on the full gamepad tester. The button matrix and raw API panel are more reliable than a brand label when a controller is in a different mode.

OUTPUTS AND LIMITS

What may not appear

  • Dual-motor rumble may be available

Rumble is an optional browser capability. A missing rumble button does not by itself prove that the motor is damaged.

KNOWN QUIRKS

Before calling it broken

  • The Xbox Wireless adapter is different from ordinary Bluetooth and may need its own Windows support.
  • Test LT/RT as analog inputs instead of only checking whether they click.
